Lidings Supports the Global Life Sciences Forum in London

Counsel, Co-Head of Pharmaceutical industry practice at Lidings Sergey Patrakeev will act as a speaker at the Second Annual Life Sciences Law forum in London on 4 and 5 of March 2014. Organized by Practical Law Company, a branch of Thomson Reuters working exclusively on law-related matters, the event is aimed at bringing together leading representatives of the industry to provide them with an excellent opportunity to communicate informally and share expertise.

The program will focus on a number of key headline themes, including: competition and IP, regulation and ethics, litigation, M&A and transactions, and other topics high on the agenda. Experts will share their views on finding the best ways forward to enforce IP rights in the EU, developing effective compliance procedures to mitigate reputational risk, and learning how to stay innovative. Discussion will also span SPC litigation as well as EU investigations into patent settlement agreements and its impact on generic market entry.

Sergey Patrakeev will speak at the session entitled New developments within EU competition: parallel imports. “This is the first time Lidings sponsors the forum in London but we can already forecast that this will become a start of a long and fruitful cooperation. The forum stands out due to its truly diverse panel sessions – you are offered perspectives from in-house, private practice and the regulators. It is also a great opportunity to review the global pharma market development trends and exchange views with experts from other jurisdictions”, Sergey Patrakeev comments.
